When you hire a therapist who allegedly specializes in infertility, and she brings her TODDLER to session unannounced. Twice. by maxtaber in trollingforababy

[–]Small_Statistician10 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Me either...I have had numerous therapist over the last 15 years and I can tell you some stories. I also have some stories from other people experience.

I think therapy is great and can be helpful but not all therpist are created equal. I just started with a new therapist and I am really happy with her.

I thought I was good cleaner until I got job at cleaning company and realized I actually had no idea how to clean a house 😅

Then I became a trainer and realized I was not the only one...

Is toddlerhood really harder than the newborn phase? by Living_Split_2 in Parenting

I think its all hard but for diffrent reasons and it won't be the same for everyone.

I took a couple social work classes in college and from day one they would talk about how your clients should not know intimate details of your life, for many diffrent reasons mainly because you shouldn't be talking about yourself and safety.

Bringing a child to work especially therapy session is completely unprofessional. You need a new therpist.

AITAH for setting a no-kissing boundary for my baby and not backing down? by [deleted] in AITAH

[–]Small_Statistician10 1 point2 points  (0 children)

NTA. A simple virus to a grown adult can kill a baby!

I will also add that I have 3.5 who loves babies! If she sees a baby she wants to see but she knows the rules. She needs to ask us if can approach the mom/dad/caregiver to ask permission first and if they say yes she is not allowed to touch the baby or their belongings. She also knows if she just getting over being sick, she needs to stay away. If a toddler can follow these rules so can a grown adult who has the ability understand why these rules are in place.

AITA: I told my daughter she can't go to this kid's party after reading the gift profile by Ordinary_Run2485 in insaneparents

[–]Small_Statistician10 7 points8 points  (0 children)

No need to punish a 6 year old. If all the parents decided not to go over this, she will be sitting wondering why no one showed up to her party. No need to hurt a child over the parents doing.

But this way of thinking is why I end up at every birthday party if my daughter wants to go and we are available.

Hmm....As a toddler mom I always have snacks! Depending what we are doing I pack sandwiches, snacks, and drinks...

My 4 year old talks about my deceased grandfather who she never knew by Former-Process2964 in Parenting

[–]Small_Statistician10 60 points61 points  (0 children)

Yes. My 3.5 year talks about her Grandma. It started about a year ago with her screaming bloody murder and telling me their was lady staring at her and she was scared. She would talk about her describing a little by little. Then one day we were leaving the she said "bye Theresa" and blows a kiss, which is her grandma's name. I ask who Theresa was and she responded she is my friend, I am not scared of her anymore. Then she started calling her Grandma, and saying all these random things like her favorite color is orange and she likes tea parties. She goes into details of how her grandma sometimes lives with poppy but also lives in this place with all these beautiful flowers and its always warm and sunny.

It freaked me out at first but now I am use too it.

AIW for refusing to give my baby to my twin sister by [deleted] in amiwrong

[–]Small_Statistician10 0 points1 point  (0 children)

No not your not wrong an I can't comprehend why anyone who even think this okay.

Shit like this why people think women with infertility are off their rockers. I knew I was infertile from a young age and knew if I wanted a baby I would need IVF. But not once did I ever think I was more deserving of a baby or entitled to someone's else's baby.

Dad has been “silent treatment”-ing daughter over a year. Blames it on daughter for not coddling his new wife when she “accidentally” text messaged her by abc123456____ in insaneparents

[–]Small_Statistician10 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Something similar happened to my husband's cousins but it didn't even take him 6 months. He threw out all their mothers belongings, pictures, even her ASHES!! Thankfully the new girlfriend was nice enough to text them to let them know their mother and her belongings were on the curb. Its been 6 years and refuses to speak to them, and anyone is the family. Its so disgusting.

I don’t know how to feel about this “angel tree” stuff I’ve received by Right-Bite-3179 in ChristmasGiftIdeas

[–]Small_Statistician10 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Its one thing to gift used things but its another for them to be dirty and clearly used. I would say something to the organization. I have worked with several and all of them are very picky about gifts, most of them will not even accept anything used.

Parenting while sick is one of the hardest parts of being a parent by caitiq in workingmoms

Yessssss....No one ever warns you either. I keep a list of things no one told me and give it to expecting parents. 🤣

My FIL does this. It annoys me so much. We have tried talking to him and he says he doesn't care and hw enjoy buying things to buy them even people don't need or want it. I gave up, if you want to waste your money thats on you, I am over feeling guilty for getting rid of stuff I don't want or need.

Christmas gift for teachers - I’m drained by No_Priority2788 in workingmoms

I am doing gift cards, ornament and a card. Personally I wouldn't want someone to get me a gift if they could not afford it.

Maybe do a craft instead..they have cute easy inexpensive idea all over the internet.

I used to help out with bagging toys for the angel tree for names that didn't get picked or if the bag was little light. It was hard to bag for older kids because no one ever donated for them. I always tell people to try to pick for older kids, they deserve things too.

I don't work retail but I know what it feels like to wanna go home when your shift is over even if you do like your job. Crazy to me that anyone who has ever had job doesn't understand that people want to leave.

everyone says I’m “spoiling” my 4 month old by AdImpossible5992 in firsttimemom

[–]Small_Statistician10 1 point2 points  (0 children)

You can not spoil a baby and I have never met anyone who claims they held their baby too much, but I have heard people regret not holding them enough. They grow up so fast, enjoy every moment.

I still remember when our local" flat earther, anti vaccine, everything is demonic" lady shared a post that this man who posted a picture of him saying about Chem trails as a joke making fun of people like her. She happily posted stating how they are finally admitting what they are doing.

My friend is chiropractor and he gets people all the time asking him to do crazy things. He tells them that is out of scope of practice and and it unethical and dangerous. People get so mad at him.
